C1286 The Double-edged Sword

Zhang Fann and the other two also expressed their reluctance. They could only stay in Yan City for a period of time. During this period of time, Zhang Fann had also supervised all activities in City Lord Mansion.0

The people in City Lord Mansion first buried the Great Elder and the patriarch. Then, they burned their corpses and placed their ashes into the urn to be buried. This way, there wouldn't be any more troubles, and it would also allow their souls to rest in peace.

During this period of time, everyone in Yan City had come to participate in the funeral in City Lord Mansion. There were countless carousel couplets.

There were also many couplets in front of the City Lord Mansion. On the left and right sides of the gate, a pair of couplets had been changed. On the left, paper had turned into white butterflies, and on the right, blood and tears had dyed the sky red. This was to express the feelings of the Deng family.

After all, in the entire Yan City, the reputation of the City Lord Deng Yuanzhou was pretty good. Under his rule, Yan City could be said to have achieved long-term stable development and was very good for foreign trade.

Although the thick fog barrier around Yan City was relatively thick, and it was somewhat difficult to find the exact location of Yan City, it still didn't affect the development of foreign trade.

Moreover, in many people's opinion, the reason Yan City was like this meant that this place was relatively safe. Such a safe place was indeed suitable for trading.

Although there were some people who wanted to develop some illegal trade in Yan City and tried to negotiate with City Lord Deng Yuanzhou with huge benefits, they were all rejected by Deng Yuanzhou in the end. They were even strongly reprimanded and chased out of Yan City.

Therefore, from this point of view, Deng Yuanzhou was a strong-willed person. He did not care about the sand in his eyes. Even though he was tempted by huge benefits, he remained unmoved. Such a person was quite rare in the martial arts world.

Many people shook their heads and sighed in response to this incident. They felt that Deng Yuanzhou wasn't in the wrong. He had been persecuted by others. Therefore, it wouldn't affect his image in the minds of these people.

Especially after they had figured out the sequence of events, they all felt that it was a pity for Deng Yuanzhou to die. The first city lord had actually used such a method to end his life. It was truly a pity that the heavens didn't open their eyes.

"Our Yan City's City Lord is so fair, but now, he has been killed by his own sect. This kind of thing is really unimaginable."

"It's really a pity. The City Lord treats us very well. " Especially us, who do business. When we encounter difficulties, he will even help us solve it in the name of the Deng Family. In all fairness, can the other City Lords or families really do it? "

Anyway, I've been to so many cities. Most of the city lords in most cities aim to make money. As long as there are benefits, he will help us. If there are no benefits, they won't care at all. "

"That's right. In some cities, many city lords even deliberately set up strange jobs to collect all kinds of fees from the businessmen in the city. To put it bluntly, they use different excuses to make money."

"These things have never happened in Yan City before. The main reason is that Deng Yuanzhou doesn't agree. As long as it's something he strongly opposes, it's impossible for it to happen in Yan City."

"Recently, I felt that something was wrong, because there were some people who seemed to be righteous people who were doing some Evil Cultivator business behind their backs. At that time, I was very puzzled. Why were these people able to enter Yan City? " Shouldn't they be chased out? "

"That's right. If Deng Yuanzhou is still alive, he absolutely won't allow such a thing to happen. After all, with the City Lord's character, he won't leave any space for these Evil Cultivators."

"Ai, to be honest, I really can't bear to part with the City Lord. " Today is the day of his funeral. Let's send him off for the last time. This can also be considered as a form of repayment for his kindness. I also hope that his soul in heaven can rest in peace. "

"You're right. I think so too. However, I'm a little worried now. Deng Yuanzhou is already dead. " Then, who will take over the position of City Lord next? "Will the laws that Deng Yuanzhou implemented before his reign still exist?"

"It's hard to say. After all, the change of the City Lord's term or the change of position is a huge matter. They will even invite the leaders of a few nearby families and large sects to come and watch. This way, the results of the election will be valid."

"This is a bit hard to do. After all, there doesn't seem to be any sects or large families in the vicinity of the Yan Capital. Only the Deng Family. Doesn't that mean that the Deng family has the final say? Does it matter who they say is the City Lord? "

That's possible. Who cares? Anyway, it's impossible to choose a new City Lord right now. At least, we'll have to wait until the Deng family has settled all the matters before we can consider this matter. "

"Actually, no matter how the election is held, it mainly depends on the purpose of the elected person to manage the city. If he really is doing it for the sake of fame and fortune, then he will definitely take care of everything from top to bottom. He will naturally be able to become the city lord and start to amass wealth."

"That's right, the other things are all fake. Only this person who really thinks about Yan City can be considered a good City Lord."

Everyone began to feel sorry for Yan City losing a good City Lord. At the same time, they began to worry. Who would be the next City Lord of Yan City? Would he be the same as Deng Yuanzhou? Helping everyone to develop their businesses and bring benefits to the people in the city? This person had already arranged everything from top to bottom. He wanted to borrow the identity of the City Lord to amass wealth. Everything was unknown. Everyone in the city expressed that... It could only depend on luck.

Zhang Fann and the others also participated in the funeral and personally observed it. Almost everyone in Yan City came to offer their condolences. Everyone's expression was solemn and tidy, and some even shed tears. For a moment, the entire Yan City was covered with a layer of grief and regret.

Lu Botong nodded in his heart when he saw the scene in front of him. He said to Zhang Fann, "It seems like this City Lord Deng Yuanzhou is really a good person. There are actually so many people attending his funeral. "Look, among these people... Some of them are wearing luxurious clothes. Clearly, they are wealthy merchants. Some of them are wearing coarse clothes. They should be the long-time workers of some family in the city. Almost everyone in the city has come. "

Zhang Fann nodded and replied to Lu Botong, "As the city lord of a city, He has some business power, but... This power is also a double-edged sword. When used well... He could let everyone in the city live a good life. If he did not use it well... He might be a cancer in the entire city, and everyone would despise him. So... What to do and where to go still needed to be judged by his own heart. Then I'll make plans. "
